FORT WORTH-DALLAS (March 26, 2001) - Five months after expanding his
Charlotte-based gallery, Sam Bass is once again expanding -- this time to
Texas.

Members of The Speedway Club at Texas Motor Speedway will now have the
opportunity to experience the artwork of Sam Bass, NASCAR's premier
artist, first-hand as the new Sam Bass Gallery is set for it's grand
opening on Saturday, March 31.

"I am truly excited about the future opportunities the Sam Bass Texas
Motor Speedway Gallery will provide me to showcase my art and share it
with the race fans," said Bass. "Texas Motor Speedway is a facility second
to none and I am very proud to be a part of it."

The gallery, located on the 8th floor of The Speedway Club, will be
offering several limited edition prints such as "Eyes of Texas*" featuring
Rusty Wallace and a Lone Star State theme, and "A Texas Size Win!", the
program cover art for the upcoming Harrah's 500 race weekend. A variety of
posters will also be available for purchase.

Although the existing Speedway World gift shop will continue to offer a
few framed pieces and posters, The Speedway Club gallery will offer
updated artwork and will be exclusively Bass' work. No other souvenirs
will be for sale providing for a more "artsy" atmosphere.

Bass will be available to sign autographs from the new gallery on
Saturday, March 31, 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 1 from 10:30
a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The grand opening is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 31 and
will remain open until 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday, hours are 10:30 a.m.- 3:00
p.m. The gallery will be open to all Speedway Club members who have race
tickets and Speedway Club member cards.

Tickets for all RPM Week-Texas races, including a limited number for the
April 1 Harrah's 500, are on sale all week at the speedway ticket office,
by calling (817) 215-8500, online at www.texasmotorspeedway.com and at all
